The nursing job market in Corona Del Mar is robust, fueled by ongoing growth in healthcare demands within the region. In the next five years, NurseRecruiter estimates that the city will need about 500 new nurses to meet the demands of a growing population, which stands at roughly 12,000 and continues to grow as more people discover the charm of our beach community. The existing nurse workforce consists of approximately 1,200 registered nurses, demonstrating a vital supply that’s keeping pace with the need for quality healthcare services. Travel nursing has also found a niche in our city, particularly during peak seasons in the summer and around holidays when tourism spikes. Additionally, the per diem market shows promise, with opportunities available as local hospitals and healthcare facilities seek flexible staffing solutions. With key employers such as Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian and several outpatient clinics, the city stands to offer exciting prospects. When compared to nearby cities like Irvine, where salaries average slightly higher at around $60 to $70 per hour, and Huntington Beach, which has a growing healthcare sector but lower wages around $40 to $50 per hour, Corona Del Mar boasts a unique combination of competitive pay and a desirable lifestyle that healthcare professionals value highly.
